The Best Restaurants at Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2022 | Where to Eat | Eater London

"There are two Mosque Kitchens in Edinburgh. One is on Nicholson Street; this one on Potterrow; the two are parallel to each other. One claims to be ‘Original,’ the other does not. Both serve excellent homestyle dal, pakoras, and curries in a canteen set-up. The ‘Original’ is outside, which can be good. The other is inside, which can be good. They’re both great, so visit." - James Hansen

If you walk to the right of the Mosque, you will be greeted by The Original Mosque Kitchen, which is an absolute gem. From the relaxed tranquil atmosphere, to the delicious food, whether you are Muslim, Non Muslim, with Family or by yourself, I highly recommend you to visit, take a seat, and immerse yourself in the culinary delights that are on offer! Very clean, outstanding flavours served with friendliness and a smile, you cannot go wrong with this place, trust me. This is the sort of place where you could eat, relax, and then realise 4 hours has just passed by, in what feels like 10 minutes, 😂 I cannot praise this place enough, I absolutely loved visiting, and any time I come back to Edinburgh, this would be top of my visiting priorities. God bless all who are involved in serving the community what I would describe as top tier cuisine, in a beautiful serene environment. aamiin

Delicious, fast, affordable food with friendly staff. Eat outside under the tarp, or inside at one of the very few tables. Today's delicious was lamb bhuna over rice, and lamb biryani. Amount of meat was considerable!! Chicken dishes also abound, as do several vegan selections!! Highly recommended!

A cozy restaurant with reasonable price for Indian and Deshi dining. I believe they serve takeaway as well. Lovely staff and outstanding outdoor seating. Definitely will come back if I'm again in Edinburgh.

The food here is delicious. I was impressed by the vegetarian options and the low price. I can't wait to be back to try the other flavours.

The place is located within the central mosque of Edinburgh, the smell of food atracts you...it was soooo delicious,and spicy...I ate twice there because of my short stay...I discovered it just my last 2 days unfortunately, the stuff were kind and the place where we eat is always clean

We were unfortunately disappointed with our meal. The two curries we ordered were really lacking flavour and a proper sauce or spice (they were watery). The veg pakora was served cold. The portion sizes were big, but for me that doesn’t make up for lack of flavour. The staff were kind and service was fairly quick.

Now this place, omg was amazing!!! The food was super tasty and great value for money. We ate here three times!! Forget fancy restaurants, this is real home style food. Fills you up! We ate downstairs twice and once in the cafe upstairs. The homemade cakes were also so delicious. A must try when In Edinburgh. The staff are all very friendly and welcoming.

Edinburgh Central Mosque is a sign of multicultural Britain and the merging of two cultures. I have been to a few Muslim countries- Egypt, Turkey and Tunisia, but have never seen a mosque designed in this way. It is as if it's structure is done in the traditional Islamic style, whilst the colour and tone to it is very much in the same vein with the rest of Edinburgh and is a credit to the city. I have never had the chance to go into the mosque itself, but will get the opportunity to during the festival period, when it does open its doors to everyone and allows people to be educated on the role the mosque plays within Islamic culture as well as informing the public about Islam itself. A lot of people will have used the 'Mosque Kitchen' which offers very tasty, cheap curries and is open to the wider public where profits from the meals sold there go to worthy causes around the world.
